Dr Keely Thorne qualified from the University of Birmingham in 2016 and has since become known for her patient-focused approach to cosmetic dentistry and her innovative use of digital technologies in private practice.
After several years as an associate, Keely co-founded The Dental Barns – a fully digital squat practice set within a grade II listed barn in Lichfield. Her vision was to redefine the dental experience by creating a space that feels more like home than a clinic, combining advanced technology with warmth, design and human connection.
Keely was among the first UK clinicians to adopt a fully virtual Invisalign workflow, offering patients remote consultations, digital treatment planning, and Dental Monitoring-powered treatments. This approach has enhanced clinical efficiency, improved case acceptance, and enabled a highly streamlined, patient-led smile journey. She now serves as a key opinion leader for Dental Monitoring and is an Invisalign speaker, sharing her expertise on the integration of digital tools in aesthetic dentistry.
Blending a strong personal brand with clinical precision and a commitment to ethical, minimally invasive treatment, Keely continues to build a loyal patient base and inspire fellow clinicians through innovation, empathy and design-led care.
